How do I remove this from my Eclipse? It is ridiculous you cannot restore to default once this is installed.

Hi, you should read Readme before https://github.com/guari/eclipse-ui-theme#syntax-highlighting-scheme-optional:

WARNING: Take a backup of your preferences before importing so you can safely restore them if you need (File > Export... then select General > Preferences);

so supposing you've made a backup, you can restore with File > Import...

Alternatively, you can go to default just by switching to a new workspace.
.EPF import/export is the default way Eclipse handles any user preference settings, restoring .EPF default values should be an IDE functionality.

Or you can always go to workspace/.metadata/.plugins/... and delete the folder you want settings restored to default.

I know, I know. Learning the hard way. I finally fixed it by downloading another .epf, opening it in textfile, altering the default settings to =true, and then importing it.

The workspace/.metadata/.plugins/... did not work for me by the way. I deleted so much crap in that metadata folder and nothing worked. Thanks though.

Tell you a simple way to solve this problem, down load Eclipse Color Theme and set Default Color theme,it can restore to the default and you can import RainbowDrops theme to it, and let the Color Theme manage your themes.
